Golden supports RTD’s ballot measure to keep current revenues

Voter approval

needed for indefinite

TABOR

exemption

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e future of the Denver metro area’s public transit system is in the voters’ hands this November, as RTD seeks to keep all the revenues it currently collects.

e Golden City Council recently declared its support for the ballot measure, encouraging Goldenites to vote “yes” on Nov. 5. Other organizations have endorsed it as well, including the Denver and Boulder chambers of commerce, the Arc of Je erson County, and Bicycle Colorado.

According to the Keep Colorado Moving campaign, voters exempted the Regional Transportation District from the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap limitations in 1999. However, the exemption only lasted until the debt for the southeast and southwest light rail lines was paid o , which will happen this year.

Without voter approval this November, RTD will have to refund some of its revenues based on TABOR limitations.

Marjorie Sloan, who represents the Golden, Lakewood and Wheat Ridge areas on the RTD Board of Directors, said losing those revenues will have major repercussions on the 3 million people in RTD’s service area.

At an Aug. 27 Golden City Council meeting, Sloan described how RTD is funded by a 1% sales tax. She said individual taxpayers might see a $25 rebate per person if the ballot measure fails, and sales taxes in general are harder to refund than property taxes.

“It doesn’t seem logical,” Sloan told the councilors.

Sloan, Golden’s former mayor, said her community is “hyperaware of the importance of transit.”

ties in the RTD service area, Sloan said Golden is “very transit-rich.” It has the W Line running out of the Je erson County Government Center, RTD bus routes, RTD’s Access-a-Ride and FlexRide services, and the Ore Cart shuttles — a partnership between the city and Colorado School of Mines.

Subsequently, Goldenites are “extremely active in their support for transit,” Sloan described. In a recent comment period, Sloan said ZIP codes 80401 and 80403 combined accounted for 14% of all comments, out of the 132 ZIP codes in the RTD service area.

Sloan said now would be the worst time to cut RTD funding, as it seeks to improve services and o er more innovative programs like Zero Fare for Youth.

Mayor Laura Weinberg said the Metro Mayors Caucus, which is composed of nearly 40 mayors from north-central Colorado, also supports the RTD ballot initiative. She said that includes mayors from communities that don’t have as many RTD services as Golden.

Compared to some municipali-

She hoped that, if the ballot measure passes and RTD can keep its current revenues, it will be able to expand its services to underserved communities and populations.

“Something like this, that would be a nancial hit, would only be a disservice to folks in Golden who rely on transit to get to work, to get to school, and could result in cuts to service,” Weinberg said.

Councilor Don Cameron said he and his colleagues didn’t make the decision to support lightly, especially with tax dollars involved. However, he said, the RTD ballot initiative is in line with the city’s policy document and RTD “provides service to Golden to a greater extent than our small population justi es, in some ways.” us, the councilors drafted and approved a resolution supporting the ballot measure, with Cameron saying, “We decided on balance that it’s good for the citizens of Golden that RTD be able to retain these taxes.”

With the Market Shifting in Buyers’ Favor, Selecting the Right Listing Agent Is Key

Last week, I wrote about what skills and knowledge you should expect your real estate agent to possess. This week, with the shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, I want to write about the importance of selecting the right listing agent.

You’ll probably want to know their level of experience, competence and success in selling homes similar to your own, hopefully within your city or neighborhood.

agents to list their homes? Many, I suspect are friends and family every agent’s biggest “competitor.”

Like you, I monitor the real estate activity where I live. The best way to do that is to ask an MLS member like my broker associates or me to set up a “neighborhood alert,” whereby you receive an automated email from the MLS whenever a home in your area is either coming soon, newly active, price reduced, newly under contract, newly sold, or even newly withdrawn or expired without selling. Send an email to info@GoldenRealEstate.com and I’ll make sure the most appropriate broker associate (or me) responds to set up an alert like that for you.

In my own neighborhood, I’m always astonished how many homes are listed by agents I’ve never heard of. As I write, there are 36 active or coming soon listings within 2 miles of my home, represented by 33 different agents from 27 different brokerages! No agent has more than two listings. And despite practicing real estate here for 22 years, I only recognize the names of 10 of them.

This is typical of every city. Where did the sellers find all those different

In some cases, the seller had already gone under contract for their replacement home elsewhere and was convinced by the listing agent of that home to list their current home. If that agent is on the other side of the metro area, that is not the best decision, because that agent will be unfamiliar with your neighborhood, lives far away, and is unable to show the home on short notice, answer questions from buyers, or keep your brochure box well stocked.

Every homeowner, it seems, gets letters or finds a note taped to their door from a broker claiming to have a buyer for their home. That tactic may earn him or her an interview in your home, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that the broker then says, “That buyer found another home, but I’m sure I can find you another buyer if you list with me. Sign here.”

Let’s say, however, that you want to interview listing agents and make a rational hiring decision. Good idea! Let me suggest some questions you might want to ask, some of which might not be obvious or that you know you could ask.

First, however, you need to choose the agents to interview. I suggest basing your search on their location and experience in your neighborhood or city. Second, study their active/sold listings to see (1) their geographic distribution and (2) how well their listings are presented on the MLS.

weekly newspapers around the metro area, my broker associates and I may not be the best choice based on that first question, but, with my access to the MLS, I can identify the best candidates to interview. Full disclosure: that costs you nothing, but I will get a referral fee if you choose an agent I recommend.

You can also do this on your own by visiting www.Nestfully.com, the consumer-facing website of Denver’s MLS, where you can search for active listings in your area. Click on one or more of them to see how well the listing agent described the home on the MLS. Did they list all the rooms, not just bedrooms and bathrooms, and did they provide dimensions and descriptions of each, or just enter the mandatory fields?

Always keep in mind that the best indicator of how a listing agent will serve you is how they have served previous sellers.

Looking at those listings will answer the most important questions which you’d ask in person, but you won’t have to take their word the truth is there in front of you. You’ll learn, for example, whether they did point-and-shoot pictures or had a professional photographer shoot magazine quality photographs, and whether they created a narrated video tour or just a slide show with music.

Having chosen who to interview that way, ask these questions of those you invite into your home for an interview:

What commission percentage do you charge? Keep in mind, there is no standard commission. It’s totally negotiable, and the industry average is in the mid -5’s, not 6%. It used to be that that commission included the co-op commission paid to a buyer’s broker. As I explained in a previous column (which you can read at JimSmithColumns.com), that has been reworked so that the seller offers whatever buyer agent compensation he or she wants, and that amount, if paid, is deducted from the listing com-

mission same net effect, just reworked to comply with the NAR Settlement prohibiting shared listing commissions.

See whether the agent volunteers that they reduce their commission when the seller doesn’t have to pay the offered compensation to a buyer’s agent. That’s standard with my broker associates and me. If you have to ask for that provision, consider it a red flag. They hoped you wouldn’t ask.

Ask the agent whether he or she will discount their commission if you hire them to represent you in the purchase of your replacement home. That, too, is standard with my broker associates and me.

Hopefully the brokers you interview will have researched the market and will make a well-supported recommendation of listing price. Beware of agents who inflate their suggested listing price so you will list with them.

When setting the appointment, ask the agent to bring a spreadsheet of their sold listings with dates, days on market, listing price and sold price. They can produce that spreadsheet quickly on the MLS. (If they don’t know how, that’s a big red flag!) Here’s an example (mine):

For 25 years, Happy Hikers have blazed a trail across Arvada and beyond

Senior hiking group encourages exploring and camaraderie

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

To most people, Tuesday is just the second day of the work or school week. To the Happy Hikers of Arvada, Tuesday means it’s time to hit the trail.

For the last 25 years, the Happy Hikers — a tight-knit group of seniors — have spent nearly every Tuesday hiking, rain or shine.  e group evolved out of a summer hiking group run by the Senior Center of North Je co Park and Recreation District — now known as Apex Park and Recreation District. As the summer came to a close, several hikers decided they wanted to keep the party going, this time organizing hikes themselves. ey passed around a piece of paper, writing down their names and numbers, and the Happy Hikers group was born.

“We had enjoyed each other’s company during that rst year that we had hiked,” said Mark McGo . “I think we just kind of knew we wanted to continue hiking, and we wanted to hike with people that we already knew.”

e hikes, which are organized by members of the group, have rules. Members take turns organizing the hikes. Members take turns driving to the hike together. Members can’t meet at the trailhead, they meet up somewhere in town and drive together — a way of building camaraderie in the group.

“Following the hike, we stop and have some kind of treat,” said McGo . “We talk over the hike and laugh and enjoy things.”

e Happy Hikers treks extend outside of Colorado. Members of the group have organized trips to several national parks, including Yellowstone, Glacier and Grand Canyon.

ey’ve visited cities — like New York City or Washington DC — trading their mountain hikes for an urban setting. Some hikers have even taken their treks abroad — visiting Australia, Africa, England and Switzerland.

“We got around to all the tourist places,” said McGo , who organized

the New York trip. “ e Statue of Liberty and Central Park. So we did a lot of walking, lot of hiking within the city.”

On their trips, the Happy Hikers have toured many landmarks of different cities, all while making sure to get their steps in.

“We don’t track (our miles),” said member Joan Wallace. “We just know we walked. A lot.”

e Happy Hikers are a tight-knit group — capping their membership at 15. Membership is exclusive — prospective members are invited by current hikers to join in on a couple of hikes. After that, current members take a con dential vote to let them

into the group.

“I think what has made the group really successful is that we have a process where if somebody wants to join, they can come as a guest,” said McGo . “ at person hikes a few times with the group over a period of time, so that everybody gets to interact with the prospective.”

McGo added that the process ensures that all members are dedicated to the group.

“We want to make sure that they understand what we’re doing,” McGo said. “ at they’re going to have to share in the driving responsibility. ey’re going to plan hikes periodically, and that they’ve got the right kind of attitude.”

Even as members age and may not be able to keep up with the group, Happy Hikers has a place for them.

“(Some of us) can’t keep up with the group anymore,” said member Pat. “Yesterday, we went with the group to Hermans Gulch. ey all went all the way up to the lake, a seven-mile round trip. Well, we only went up to the meadow and back — we did about four miles. But we’re still with the group.”

On Aug. 15, Apex Park and Recreation District issued a proclamation recognizing the Happy Hikers of Arvada for their years of dedication to health and wellness.

For 25 years, the hikers have been drawn and kept together by their friendships and their love for nature.

“You see Colorado in a completely di erent light than if you’re just driving through the hillside,” said McGo . “Seeing America at three miles an hour to walk, you see things really di erently. For me, it’s really the beauty of Colorado and the camaraderie.”

For 25 years, the Happy Hikers of Arvada have met nearly every week for hikes organized by members of the club. COURTESY OF MARK MCGOFF

Arvada Center’s 2024-25 season opens with ‘Waitress’

Musical brings a slice of life — and pie — to Arvada

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Mix sugar, butter, our, 35 fake pies, a live band and one diner-inspired set. Combine with an all-female creative team, sprinkle in the music of Sara Bareilles. e result: Arvada Center’s “Waitress.”

“Waitress” — a musical based on a lm of the same name — follows Jenna, an expert pie maker and waitress in her small-town diner. When Jenna is faced with an unexpected pregnancy while trapped in a rocky marriage, she turns to her fellow waitresses — and a handsome doctor — for help.

e Arvada Center kicked o its 202425 season on Aug. 30 with the pie- lled musical, which runs through Oct. 13 at the venue, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday through Saturday, as well as at 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

“It’s the story of a woman trying to nd her true self, using her arch, which is baking, to try to unlock her life and nd her way,” Director Lynne Collins said. “It’s very much a story about friendship, especially female friendship, and how women help and support each other in their lives.”

e show — which features a book by Jessie Nelson, and music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles — has always been steeped in telling women’s stories. However, the Arvada Center’s production takes it one step further with an allfemale creative team.

“It’s great to have an all-female creative team,” Collins said. “When you direct a musical, it’s a real collaboration with your musical director and your choreographer. And in the case of this show, it’s a team of three women, which is correct for this particular piece.”

Jenna bakes pies onstage — which proved to be a challenge the props department could rise to. Many of the pie ingredients are replaced so they look better to the audience, such as sugar being swapped for salt.

WAITRESS

“Waitress” tells Jenna’s story through what she knows best — pie. Many scenes feature Jenna concocting a new pie as she describes her problems to the audience, pouring ingredients into the bowl and whisking it together on stage. Of course, since real food doesn’t have a place on stage, it was up to the props department to create some enticing fake pie.

“ ere are tons of di erent kinds of batters and liquids and eggs and our and sugar that we had to gure out with the show,” said Director of Scenic Design and Properties Brian Mallgrave. “None of it’s actually the real stu , because food doesn’t look good on stage. We had to gure out how to make formulas that are mostly oil-based so that when the batter ows it all looks really pretty and elegant.”

After “baking” the pies onstage, the nished pies appear — sporting names that re ect Jenna’s mood, like “I Don’t Want Earl’s Baby Pie.” ese nished pies were carefully sculpted by the props department, using materials like foam so they could be danced across the stage during performance after performance.

“It’s really funny to nd out how intriguing fake food is,” said Mallgrave. “ e more realistic you make it, the more interesting it is for people because everybody kind of relates to food, espe-

cially these sweets and desserts like pie.”

With sweet treats aplenty, the show has something for everyone.

“ ere’s some people who love to laugh,” Collins said. “ ere’s great laughs.

ere are people who want to weep a little bit. ere’s some nice weeping. It’s just got a lot of emotional notes that I think makes it accessible and interesting to most any audience. It’s a little sexy, too.”

At its core, Collins believes that what makes the show so great for any audience is its humanity.

“I feel like these characters are relatable and human,” Collins added. “For musicals, sometimes that’s hard to nd, and I feel like this fabulous cast has really brought that (humanity).”

For Collins and Mallgrave — along with the rest of the cast and creative team — the show opening means months of work paying o .

“What we do takes a great team of artisans, and it’s always quite challenging, and people are seeing the nal product,” Mallgrave said. “It’s so exciting to know that we’re being supported by the community through our challenges and all of the craziness that it takes to put a big,

huge show like this together. It’s just nice to know that people in the community will be a part of the audience.”

Arvada welcomes In-N-Out at 52nd and Wadsworth

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

After months of anticipation, In-NOut has opened in Arvada.

On Sept. 5, Arvadans lled the parking lot of Arvada Marketplace to feast on Double-Doubles and animal-style fries — signatures of the popular Californian late-night dining export.

Opening morning was a quieter affair than past Colorado In-N-Out openings. As the restaurant opened for the rst time, the drive-through line snaked through the Arvada Marketplace parking lot—but didn’t spill out of the lot. By lunchtime though, lines grew longer.

e In-N-Out — Arvada’s rst — is located at 7494 W. 52nd Ave. and will be open 7 days a week, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays through ursdays,

and from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

“We’re super excited to be here in Arvada,” said In-N-Out Vice President of Operations George Charlesworth. “Everyone’s been very warm with their greetings to us. It’s exciting to get our 407th store open.”

In Arvada, In-N-Out has chosen to settle next to one of the state’s busiest intersections — creating some concern for potential tra c. e intersection of 52nd and Wadsworth is one of the two busiest in the state, according to Arvada Planning Commission Chair Michael Gri th and CDOT data.

“For tra c, we’ve worked with the city and law enforcement on a plan,” Charlesworth said. “We don’t want to cause any interruptions to local businesses. We want to try to be good neighbors to everyone in the community.”

On the same day, across the metro area, another In-N-Out opened in Parker. e Arvada and Parker locations mark In-N-Out’s 10th and 11th locations in Colorado.

Answering your questions about voting security

A look at the election process as November balloting approaches

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With a whirlwind of claims about election security swirling since the 2020 election, it’s no wonder that some Colorado voters are feeling a bit skeptical about the fairness of the process. But before those doubts take root, remember that the folks tasked with handling your ballots are the same ones you might bump into as you run your errands.

ey’re “the people that you’re standing next to in line at the grocery store,” said Tom Skelley, a spokesperson for the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s O ce, the team that oversees elections in that county.

Skelley recently spoke at a Denverarea gathering of county elections sta ers in an e ort to get ahead of the suspicions by some voters in recent years surrounding voting processes. Some of those suspicions stem from misinformation — and some voters may simply not be familiar with how the process works.

How does your ballot get counted?

In Colorado, the way elections run is standardized in state law and in rules issued by the secretary of state’s o ce. All Colorado counties are required to abide by those laws and rules.

Among other standards, one common theme is the involvement of bipartisan teams — Democrats and Republicans working together to carry out the process.

“No one person is ever alone with a ballot,” a Je erson clerk’s explainer sheet says. “We do everything in teams, and speci cally bipartisan teams, to ensure the security of voters’ ballots and the entire election pro-

Colorado to boost the cash-for-clunkers program

The program helps income-qualified buyers

purchase a new EV

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is boosting its popular cash-for-clunkers EV buying support by nearly 60% with a $9 million fund for 2024-25, after retiring more old, dirtier cars than expected o the road during the rst year.

e state exhausted $5.7 million for the rst year of the fund, which helps income-quali ed buyers with an extra $6,000 rebate at the cash

register if they turn in an older car when buying a new EV. Turning in an old car and buying a used EV can bring an exchange rebate of up to $4,000.

Stacked with other federal, state and utility EV rebates, the extra state boost can cut the cost of some EVs by far more than half.

Formally dubbed Vehicle Exchange Colorado, or VXC, the program pulled 879 old or emissionsfailing vehicles from highways in the year beginning Aug. 31, 2023, state o cials said in a release.

“Expanding the use of electric vehicles is an important part of our work to improve air quality and achieve our climate goals, and we look forward to seeing this funding

support more Coloradans,” Gov. Jared Polis said in the release.

“ e way Coloradans have embraced this program shows the momentum the EV market is having in Colorado, and we’re extremely excited to continue building on its success with additional funding,” said Colorado Energy O ce Executive Director Will Toor.

e program issued a total of 1,301 rebates from old car exchanges in the rst year, and consumers redeemed 68% of those vouchers. at was more than six times the number of rebates the Colorado Energy

O ce expected to provide, state ofcials said. e second shot of $9 million is for the scal year starting July 1, 2024, running through June 30, 2025.

e total two-year funding of $14.7 million has come through the Community Access Enterprise. It is overseen by the energy o ce, and paid for through a retail delivery fee that began in 2022.

• Signatures that can’t be automatically veri ed by the sorting machine are reviewed by trained election workers. Ballot envelope signatures are compared to signatures in voter les

• For signatures that can’t be veried — either because they’re missing or don’t match — voters are contacted and asked to “cure” their ballot by sending proof of identi cation

• Shortly after 7 p.m. on Election Night, the rst round of uno cial results is posted online, followed by later updates.

After 7 p.m., when polls close, is when results are rst seen — even by the county clerk’s sta , according to the secretary of state’s o ce.

Sometimes those early tallies of votes, as they’re released, o er a skewed picture of the results. A clearer picture emerges as more updates of the tally are posted online during Election Night and, in close races, into the next day(s).

Pursuant to a Colorado election rule, cameras record all areas where the election management software

system is used at least 60 days before Election Day to at least 30 days after, according to the Colorado County Clerks Association.

( is year, ballots for the November election are expected to be mailed to voters starting Oct. 11.)

For counties with 50,000 or more registered voters, cameras also record all areas used for signature verication, ballot opening tabulation, and storage of voted ballots at least 35 days before Election Day through at least 30 days after, the association’s website says.

Many counties have cameras recording year-round, the association says.

e presentation in Golden on Aug. 26 involved Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Douglas and Je erson counties.

“ ere’s badge access that limits what rooms anyone can get in,” Skelley, with Arapahoe County, said.

Does internet security factor in?

Voters who follow the news may be familiar with the question of whether voting systems can be hacked.

“No vote counting machines in Colorado are connected to the internet,” said Sarah McAfee, a spokesperson for the Je erson County clerk’s o ce.

She added: “In larger counties that

have multiple vote counting machines, these machines may be networked together, but it is a closed network, not accessible from outside the room the equipment is housed in.”

County elections o ces transmit results to the Colorado Secretary of State’s O ce, McAfee said.

“I believe it’s accurate to say that every county has at least one, but probably not more than two … internet-connected computers that are used to upload election results,” McAfee said. But “these computers are never connected to the counting machines or the closed network the counting machines may be a part of. ey do upload the results le from the counting machines through an internet connection to the secretary of state’s o ce.”

But even if the internet connection to the state election o ce were somehow tampered with and unofcial election results reporting to the public was a ected, the original voting results le would still be intact, McAfee said.

What about inaccurate voter registration?

You may have heard concerns about voter registration issues. How do o cials guard against those? Several mechanisms are at play,

including cross-checking death records, updating addresses and more. If a voter on the rolls dies, o cials receive information from the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment.

Earlier this year, Douglas County detailed how its elections o ce also gets notices from the state Department of Corrections for people who are imprisoned because of a felony conviction. In Colorado, it’s illegal to register to vote or to cast one while in prison on a sentence for a felony.

Moving to a new home can also trigger changes to voter registration.

When “you update through the National Change of Address registry to the U.S. Postal Service, we receive that information,” Jack Twite, Douglas County’s deputy of elections, has said. “In addition, any undeliverable o cial election mail that is returned to us will result in an update to the voter’s registration as well. We inactivate that registration.”

Colorado also participates in ERIC, or the Electronic Registration Information Center, a partnership across many states to help maintain accurate voter rolls. It’s aimed at identifying voters who appear to have moved from one state to another and voters who have died.

SECURITY

What about people without U.S. citizenship?

is year, politicians have stirred up concerns about noncitizens and voting.

Often, voting is tied to having a driver’s license or other Colorado identication card.

But a person who does not have a driver’s license, state-issued ID or Social Security number may still register to vote, according to Colorado’s voter registration form information.

Asked about the ID requirements, McAfee said: “ e very large majority of Colorado voters are registered at the DMV or online, where their citizenship is con rmed through government-issued IDs, such as passports, Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses. ose that aren’t still have to show ID, which could be any of the valid forms of ID, but everyone must sign an a davit swearing the truth of their application.”

Knowingly lying on that a davit would be perjury, said Jack Todd, a spokesperson for the secretary of state’s o ce.

At the top of Colorado’s voter registration form is the question, “Are you a citizen of the United States?” and

the instruction, “If you answered ‘No’, do not complete this form.”

e form also says: “Warning: It is a Class 1 misdemeanor to swear or afrm falsely as to your quali cations to register to vote.”

Federal lawsays, generally, that “it shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the o ce of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner.”

e law also says: “Any alien who has voted in violation of any Federal, State, or local constitutional provision, statute, ordinance, or regulation is deportable.”

( e term “alien” means any person who is not a citizen or national of the U.S. e Associated Press Stylebook, a guide for journalists, has advised against using the term “alien” except in quotations.)

Anders Nelson, a spokesperson for Arapahoe County, noted that people applying for citizenship who attempt to vote put themselves at risk of legal punishment and could complicate or end their pathway to citizenship.

Cases of suspected voter fraud are reported to district attorney’s o ces for investigation, Todd said.

Every month, the secretary of

says: “Due to building codes and safety concerns, the maximum number of observers allowed in Signature Verification at any one time is 4.”

state’s o ce receives a list from the Colorado Department of Revenue of all the people who have been given a “Not Lawfully Present” or “Temporarily Lawfully Present” driver’s license, Todd said.

“People who have been given these licenses are not citizens, generally speaking,” Todd said. “We compare that list to the statewide voter registration database (SCORE). If there are matches to any of the individuals with NLP/TLP licenses, we then lter those names through SAVE, which at times will con rm that an individual has achieved citizenship status.”

“SAVE cannot tell us conclusively whether someone is not a citizen, as that database is only updated with the latest information provided by either the individual or a wide variety of government agencies partnered with the federal government,” Todd said.

e state also checks the full list of voters against data received by the Colorado Department of Revenue daily, and federal Social Security Administration monthly, Todd said.

“In scenarios where there are questions about an individual’s citizenship, the (state) sends a letter to that individual informing them that it is a felony for noncitizens to cast a ballot in a Colorado election and that they

must withdraw their voter registration if they are not a citizen,” Todd said. “ is happens on an as-needed basis.”

McAfee, with Je erson County, pointed to analysis by the libertarianCato Institute think tank, which has calledclaims about widespread noncitizen voting fraud “bogus.”

Other fraud concerns e presentation in Golden also touched on the fear of what some call “ballot harvesting” — e orts to collect voters’ ballots and drop them o . If someone puts a bunch of ballots into a drop box, do those count? A key question is whether the ballots are valid or not.

Fraudulent ballots would come up invalid, Twite has said, because of how they’re tracked.

“We use that barcode that’s on your return envelope — it’s one per voter per election and never repeated,” Twite has said. He added: “And if somebody made copies of those envelopes and tried to put them back, if we receive two, only one gets counted.”

And ballots still go through signature veri cation as a guard against fraud, according to the Golden presentation.

Employment data: Are fewer people employed than we thought?

BY TAMARA CHUANG

THE COLORADO SUN

For those who follow the state and federal job reports, the rst time numbers come out for any given month is not the last.

e Bureau of Labor Statistics revised employment data from March. e U.S. added 818,000 fewer jobs than previously estimated, while Colorado’s overcount was 72,700, according to the latest Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data.

at doesn’t quite add up, said Tim Wonholf, an economist at the state Department of Labor and Employment. It also doesn’t necessarily mean more people have lost their jobs.

“Downward revisions don’t equate to job losses, but rather provide a clearer picture of the jobs that existed to begin with,” he said in an email. “Colorado’s revision looks higher

than we would expect.”

His reason is that Colorado’s labor force is 2% of the national labor force. So, 2% of 818,000 should be 16,000 and not fourtimes higher.

“We are investigating and working with national partners to understand the estimate and dig into potential root-cause factors,” he said.

Ryan Gedney, a Denver economist who tracks labor trends, said that if the numbers are true, “Colorado jobs are actually declining over the year,” he said in an email. But he, too, questions the accuracy of the QCEW data.

Final revisions come out in February 2025. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Isuppose it’s the human thing on a hiking trail to acknowledge one another when passing. But on a well-used trail, the same comments come up time and time again.

“Good Morning.” As an introvert I don’t understand why I have to say “Good Morning” to every member of a 30-person group. Nor does “Good Afternoon” roll o the tongue as nicely. Too many plosives and fricatives. Yesterday I got yelled at for not saying a cheery enough “Good Morning” to a passing hiker. I did not realize I was at a Downton Abbey garden party. en there’s the consoling “You’re Almost ere” hello. For one thing, I am almost never almost there when assured that I am. Volunteers at 10Ks or marathons are warned to never, ever, tell someone they are almost there. Almost there is when you can see the parking lot.

An annoying question is “Everything OK?” Why are they asking this? Admittedly I have more gray hair than brown, but do I look so decrepit that they are concerned about my well being? What would they do if I said, “It

would really be OK if you took my pack!”

“How you doing?” Do they really want to know that my trick hip is acting up, and my pack irritates that weird spot on my scapula? Probably not.

“Good Luck.” Again, why? Is the only thing that will assure my success a whim of fate? I used to answer, “In the words of the immortal solo climber of Mount Everest, Reinhold Messner, ‘I do not believe in luck.’” at usually gets me a blank look.

“Where did you start and how long did it take you?” People usually ask me this while hiking in Grand Canyon. But why ask a random stranger how they did? I’m not racing. One woman asked me this at Bryce Canyon National Park because she and her boyfriend were attempting a loop. She thought they were on the wrong trail, but her boyfriend thought she was wrong. Turned

out he was the one who was wrong, and he wasn’t happy about nding that out.

“Is it really harder hiking uphill?” Is this a trick question?

“Where are you going?” at seems a deep philosophical question to pose to a complete stranger.

“How was it?” I guess I could answer on a scale of one to ten…

“Was it worth it?” I’m always tempted to reply, “No, turn around now.”

“Does this trail go anywhere?” “No,” I want to say, “it just kind of sits there.”

“If I hike down this trail, is there another way out?” Not really: Walk in, walk out, is usually the case.

Sometimes a joker will ask, “Are we there yet?” I sometimes answer, “Buddha would say, ‘We are always there.’ at gets me a laugh now and then.”

Several times I have been asked where the next shuttle bus stop is. If this is asked while on a trail in the Grand Canyon, the answer is “A mile back and a thousand feet up the way you came.”

Poleaxed stare. “ e bus doesn’t come down here?” “No,” I want to say, “they tend to stick to the paved road.”

One young man told me, “I hope I can do this.” I said, “It looks as though you are.” “No, I mean when I am as old as you.” I guess I can take that as a compliment. en there is the compliment: “I hope I’m as t as you when I’m your age.” I want to reply: “I might be as t as your age!”

A friend who let her hair go gray during COVID told me that she gets a lot more positive comments than she used to: “Young hikers used to mutter under their breath when I passed them. Now they tend to do a thumbs up and say, ‘Good for you.’”

I was hiking one day with a group of women who have hiked the West on trails for years, when a man stepped to the side to let us pass. He beamed at us as he said, “You ladies look radiant.” Now that is the kind of trail talk I like.

Town Hall Arts Center starts new season with ‘Jersey Boys’

Music is such a fast-moving artform, always celebrating the new thing, that it can be easy to forget that musical history is built on the artists and genres that came before.

So, that means that while many young people don’t know it today, Frankie Valli and e Four Seasons had hits. And those hits mattered when they were being made and they still matter now. e stories behind songs like “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes O of You,” are explored on Littleton Town Hall Arts Center’s stage by the musical “Jersey Boys.”

“I want to get audiences as close to the story as possible,” said director Matthew Dailey. “ e bene t of a space like Town Hall is you can put the audience right there in the booth

with the musicians and make them part of this incredible rags to riches story.”

“Jersey Boys” runs at the theater, 2450 Main St., through Sunday, Oct. 6. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday through Friday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Told in a documusical format, the show follows Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito as they make their way from New Jersey to the peak of the music world. Each band member gets the opportunity to tell their side of the story, providing a window into what it takes to make it as a musician.

e show is one Dailey, a Colorado native, is very familiar with — he played DeVito in the Broadway National Tour for three years and as such, understands just how to tell the story.

“It’s really a show about sound. It’s about four guys struggling to nd their sound and what they’re willing to sacri ce to hold onto the sound when nd it,” he said. “ e group we’ve put together is great and it’s an almost out-of-body experience to work on a show I’m so close to.”

While the songs that made Franki Valli and e Four Seasons superstars may be decades old, that doesn’t lessen the impact of their story, nor does it mean that “Jersey Boys” will only appeal to older audiences. e show has everything, from a history of pop music and dancing to great characters

and elements of a mob story.

“Younger people know this music, even if they don’t know they know it,” Dailey said. “It’s a real experience that will give younger people an appreciation of a time gone by, and for older generations, it’s an opportunity to sit back and analyze the soundtrack of their life.”

In Loving Memory

Colorado Community Media’s newsroom has already used the results of the Voter Voices surveys we have received so far.

In recent months, we asked readers to take surveys asking what they think candidates for political o ces should focus on as they compete for their votes. e top answer from Colorado Community Media readers across the metro area sounded like something from a civics class: “democracy and good government.”

Our readers said they want the candidates to focus on solutions, even if it means compromises.

As Lisa Anne Bresko, a self-described moderate and business owner from Evergreen, told us, democracy and good government are foundational if our leaders are going to solve the many pressing problems facing our communities.

“I feel there’s very little respect and no more compromise,” Bresko said. “It’s ‘My way or no way’ on a lot of topics. at’s not the way to run a country or get anything done. I feel all of the name calling, the pointing of ngers, the disin-

formation about the people you’re supposed to be working with toward common goals is hurting the ability to get things done.”

More than 400 (and counting) Colorado Community Media readers have lled out our Voter Voices surveys using links in our newsletters and stories or QR codes from newspapers and yers. Our reporters and editors have been using the results to help form the questions we ask politicians in the two dozen Denver-area cities, towns and suburbs we cover. We are partnering with 60 newsrooms across the state in this endeavor. Overall, there are some 6,000 responses. In the surveys, voters are asked to rank their top three issues among 13 categories, revealing their importance. e surveys also allow voters to elaborate in their own words on what they think candidates should focus on.

Additionally, our Colorado Community Media reporters reached out di-

rectly to many survey respondents of all political persuasions to speak to them about their surveys and more. We also went into the community to connect with younger voters, an underrepresented category in the data.

More than 37% of our readers who took the survey cited democracy and good government as their top issue. More moderates and liberals cited it as a top issue than conservatives, but the surveys revealed that it is an important issue regardless of political inclination. Readers’ other top issue was the economy and cost of living, which was cited more by conservatives as their No. 1 issue, yet readers across the political spectrum said it was a top issue.

Phillip McCart, a liberal from Littleton, told us that candidates should focus on ways to help people who are struggling. One way candidates can do that, McCart said, is to work to reduce housing costs by creating more housing density.

During the primaries, we incorporated readers’ concerns about democracy and good government and the economy into questions we asked Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress in our primary forums for Colorado’s 4th District. e forums were co-sponsored with the League of Women Voters Colorado and KUNC public radio.

We plan to do the same for more forums we’re co-sponsoring this fall.

And, our Question and Answer surveys of candidates, which are widely read in print and online ahead of the November elections, will include Voter Voices-inspired questions and themes.

We also got to speak directly to voters and our reporters were met with appreciation in their e orts. is is just the start. We intend to keep the conversations with you going and we’re looking for ways to localize our connections with survey respondents. Watch for that.

Readers also told us they appreciated the opportunity to elaborate on their views and see our journalists as advocates for getting their voices into the process, given our unique access to leaders and candidates.  We have more work to do in terms of outreach, especially when it comes to younger voters and another category underrepresented in our results – people of color. Watch this space for future stories about them as we consider Voter Voices a starting point.

A big next step for us will be to work with groups of survey respondents to create a Voter Voices Citizens Agenda for our newsroom that helps guide our every interaction with public o cials and candidates for political o ce.

BY THE COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA NEWSROOM

VOTER VOICES

“Housing costs are destroying the hopes and dreams of everyone,” McCart said. at view was echoed many times in the surveys we gathered. For instance, one moderate Je erson County voter – who wished to remain anonymous – wrote in her survey, “We have a severe lack of a ordable and workforce housing in the metro area, and it is not improving.”

Evergreen resident Norm Sherbert, a conservative on scal issues and moderate on others, told us that everyone, regardless of income, should be concerned that many people across the metro area are struggling.

“I think it a ects us all,” he said. “I see it in my utility bills, the price of gas, grocery bills — and it just keeps climbing.”

Sherbert worries that the Social Security system might not be intact for future generations and believes strong, bipartisan leadership is needed to tackle such problems. He is not impressed

by President Biden or the Democratic and Republican nominees for president, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

“I’m not a Trump fan, and I’m surely not a Biden or Harris fan,” Sherbert said. “It’s a shame we do not have the candidates out there that can really make something happen in the country. I hope we come back to the center and realize it’s not the candidates that are going to drive this country, it’s the issues and how they’re solved.”

Similar views were espoused around our coverage area, which spans from Fort Lupton, Brighton and Commerce City in the north to Je erson County in the west, Idaho Springs in the mountains, Arapahoe and Douglas counties in the south, and Parker and Elbert County in the east.

About half of the readers who responded to our survey consider themselves moderate. About a quarter identify as conservative and another quarter as liberal. About 60% of respondents are women and 40% are men.

Many readers told us that

partisanship has become a never-ending soap opera – with sides squaring o against each other leaving compromises, and the potential solutions to longstanding problems, in the dust. Many shared a feeling that the country has an urgent, almost desperate need for candidates who will talk about issues, especially divisive ones, calmly instead of attacking and dismissing each other.

e stakes, readers say, are just too high given a long list of concerns, from crime to climate change to in ation to immigration to national security. One of the most eye-opening insights from readers is their disdain for grandstanding by candidates, bitter attacks and empty promises.

Michael Wilson, a 65-yearold conservative in Je erson County, said he would like political candidates to talk about what they will do if they are elected.

“I don’t need to hear them try to run down their opponent,” Wilson said.

omas Gibbons, a moderate who lives in the High-

lands Ranch area, said property taxes, local crime and reducing gun violence are important to him, but the problems associated with them can’t be solved if elected leaders are not focused on good governance.

“Elected o cials must nd a way to work together in bipartisan cooperation,” said Gibbons.

Littleton resident Porter Lansing, who identi es as liberal, said he would like to see candidates address the wealth gap between the metro area’s richest and poorest residents, citing concerns about unemployment and in ation. Lansing, who is 70 and disabled, said he lives mainly on his Social Security income.

“Everything’s so expensive, and everything’s going up,” he said. “I don’t want politicians to forget people way down here just because we don’t have money to contribute to their campaigns.”

It’s not just Coloradans who feel the government must improve.

VOTER VOICES

Across the country, positive views of political and governmental institutions are at historic lows, according to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Many Americans say they are underwhelmed by candidates and 28% of Americans express unfavorable views of both the Democratic and Republican parties, the highest share in three decades of polling, with a comparable share adding that neither party represents their interests well.

In Voter Voices surveys, newsrooms across Colorado received strikingly similar ndings to ours, with good government and the economy coming out as top issues, closely mirroring the results of our readers. Other important issues cited by survey respondents included the environment, climate and natural resources, immigration and abortion. e vast majority of respondents identi ed as older than 45. at prompted Colorado Community Media to reach out to younger people directly. A reporter and our summer reporting intern used social media to promote the Voter Voices survey on Instagram, tweeting on X and even texting friends and colleagues for help reaching more voters in their 20s and 30s online and in person.

Many of the younger voters shared the same concerns as older voters, particularly regarding good government and the economy.

Ben Warzel, 25, of Littleton, was at

a Denver restaurant as he expressed frustration over how candidates attack each other.

“(Candidates) can have their little pageantry, but we know that they’re not really doing anything,” Warzel said. “It’s just becoming dangerous, the people that we’re having to choose between.”

Some young people spoke about the intersection that the high costs of college and wages play out in their lives.

“I would like to see candidates talk about pay wages, especially with degrees and the cost of college,” a 24-year-old Voter Voices respondent from Arapahoe County who wished to remain anonymous wrote. “I think the cost of college is becoming una ordable even for people who are more well o .”

“Cost of living has not gone down at all over the years,” a 24-year-old respondent to our survey wrote.

Joshua Glenn, 28, of Aurora, said he hopes candidates will focus on a raft of issues – from the economy to the safety of all Americans.

“I would like candidates to focus on climate issues, economic future, abuse of power and the environment,” Glenn said. “Social justice is very important to me as well. As an African-American, and a contributing member of society, I want to feel safe in all parts of the country.”

Kamara Maxie, 24 of Denver, said the cost of living and abortion are the most important issues she wants candidates to address this election. Maxie also said gun safety is an issue that candidates should address.

“I believe having legal guns is important for protection reasons, however, I don’t think we should have weapons of war,” Maxie said. ere were also familiar divisions among conservatives and liberals. For instance, many conservative readers, like Eric Tyrell, who lives in Douglas County, cited immigration and tax policy as important issues. He would like to see candidates close the southern border and cut government spending.

“Government is too big and is still getting bigger every year,” he said. Meanwhile, many liberals, like Kathy Mendt in Adams County, said abortion policy is important.

“Politicians need to keep their laws

o women’s bodies,” Mendt said. She also wants to see candidates who care about the environment.

“How willing are they to address climate change?” Mendt said.

Mary Wylie, an Arvada voter who identi es as a liberal, said climate change is a pressing problem.

“I think climate change is essentially the ballot, depending on who ends up winning the presidency and has control of the government,” Wylie said.

Many survey respondents have similar litmus tests for candidates. For instance, they want to know: Does a candidate support the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Does a candidate support U.S. funding for Israel? Does a candidate believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 election?

Our readers also listed a hodgepodge of local issues. ey included inadequate roads and cell phone “dead zones” in Je erson County, a desire to see more conversation around local control issues, the e ects crime has on businesses and how safe people feel in certain parts of the metro area, among other issues.

And, some said perceptions of communities as conservative or liberal doesn’t provide an accurate reection of reality.

“Douglas County is a red county, but it’s growing a little more blue, especially where I live in northern Highlands Ranch,” Alex Miller, a 60-year-old Highlands Ranch man who identi es as a liberal, told us. “Based on the yard signs in the last election, my neighborhood had as many Biden signs as Trump signs. I think it’s a mistake to write o the county as lost to Republicans.”

Candidates can improve by focusing on the issues instead of attacking each other, many survey respondents said.

“ e negativity and the bashing, I think, is just very divisive and drives us further apart,” Wylie said.

Jane Dvorak, a moderate from Jefferson County who listed democracy and good government as top concerns, said, “ e lack of respect for di ering opinions/ideas is scary.”

“It’s time to take a hard look at how we talk to each other, make decisions and what is best for the whole, not

one person/group,” Dvorak wrote.

To voters like C. Michael Litzau, a 65-year-old moderate Adams County voter, the integrity and ethics of political candidates matters as much as their stance on issues.

“What has their experience been like working with groups during dicult circumstances, and how do they resolve con icts?” Litzau said. “A priority for my evaluation of candidates for elected o ce is their ability to act civilly, even in a time of disagreement.”

Bumper crop of ‘hoppers plague state

State is experiencing one of its worst grasshopper infestations in recent history

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

It was as if Doug Bay’s wish had come true, the day the doves landed. Bay, who grows alfalfa and a bit of corn and sorghum in Otero County, had been eyeing the 3 acres of fresh green shoots for days, worrying they

were about to be destroyed by the swarms of crop-munching grasshoppers that were bouncing all over his farm.

He was holding out hope that he wouldn’t have to spray pesticide to save his alfalfa crop from the destructive insects, which are vexing farmers and gardeners from Denver to the plains this summer. Bay almost called the local crop duster, but he put it o .  en came the doves. About 200 of the tan birds swooped down from the sky and feasted on the grasshoppers, demolishing pretty much the whole lot.

“It was kinda neat,” recalled Bay, whose family has been farming in Cheraw since 1950. “A couple hundred of them, eating those grasshoppers. ey must have told their friends this was a good place to eat.”

at least near his house.

Scientists say the grasshoppers are having a banner year in Colorado because the conditions for hatching eggs and growing big insects were ideal. Grasshoppers lay their eggs in dirt, and the pods or “egg beds” remain underground through the winter. e eggs hatch in the spring, and the tiny “nymphs” crawl out of the ground in search of food, according to Colorado State University’s extension services.

If weather conditions are good, and there is plenty to eat, grasshoppers grow for several weeks until they reach adult size — and this summer they are quite large. e insects likely hatched earlier this year because of a mild, warmer spring, and then did not face the kind of cold, wet weather that can kill o newly hatched grasshoppers.

For farmers, the best way to deal with grasshoppers is to let birds handle it. But this year, when the grasshopper infestation is one of the worst in recent history, farmers can’t rely on just the birds. e bounty of grasshoppers is on par with last summer’s Mormon cricket invasion on the Western Slope.

Bay said he had to hire the crop duster to spray his other, larger eld of alfalfa, costing him about $15 for each of the 120 acres. He’s also got 15 chickens that spend their days pecking his yard and keeping the grasshoppers at a more manageable level,

In Denver, gardeners are reporting extra-large grasshoppers and in extra large numbers, popping around yards and chewing holes in the leaves of their lettuce and tomato plants. On the Eastern Plains, their destruction has been spotty — some farms are having to spray pesticides or losing yields to the bugs, while others have had few issues.

For gardeners, experts suggest adding some plants that repel grasshoppers — garlic or chives — or using garlic to make a natural spray. Anoth-

er idea is to cover the garden with netting to keep the insects from jumping into it. Get some chickens. Or put up a bird feeder.

While grasshopper eggs are more likely to survive the winter in dry soil, undisturbed by tillage or irrigation, the insects often live longer and grow bigger in irrigated land where there is plenty of foliage.

Short-term rental owners, advocates work to combat ‘heavy-handed regulation’

BY JASON BLEVINS

THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado is the birthplace of shortterm rentals. And the state is groundzero for local regulation of the booming industry.

After several years of reactive, defensive responses to increased regulation and taxation legislation, the state’s short-term rental owners and managers are organizing with an educational campaign and lawmaker lobbying plans. Colorado House Speaker Rep. Julie McCluskie, a Democrat from Dillon, earlier this month warned that short-term rental legislation “is highly likely” in either the special session or next year’s session.

“We know that short-term rentals have become a signi cant part of the guest experience,” she said at a rally of short-term rental owners, managers and representatives from Vrbo in Silverthorne last week. “In order for our tourism economies to thrive, we need short-term rentals in places where the world wants to be.”

With no short-term rental legislation during the special session where lawmakers hammered out a plan for property tax relief, “it does feel like we dodged a bullet,” said Julie Koster, the executive director of the Colorado Lodging and Resort Alliance and the Summit Alliance of Vacation Rental Managers.

Property owners and short-term rental advocates are planning to lobby and court policymakers heading into next year’s legislative session, hoping to sti e increased limitations on vacation rentals. Earlier this year, as the legislature debated Senate Bill 33 — legislation that would have quadrupled property taxes on vacation rental homes — McCluskie elded more than 2,000 emails from constituents in one week. e third-term representative said she has never received so many emails.

She urged the short-term rental advocates gathered inside the Silverthorne Pavilion earlier this month to reach out now to lawmakers and share data — not just anecdotes — about vacation homes that rent to visitors.

“Short-term rentals are the new frontier for how we experience life. People are letting go of buying things and they are embracing ‘What happened to me yesterday,’” she said.

“How do we ensure that there are short-term rentals available? How do we nd balance?”

Balance is the top talking point for owners and managers who rely on vacationers renting private homes.

e owners on Tuesday discussed the need for all owners to pay lodging taxes and comply with local regulations as they lobby local and state lawmakers to steer clear of what they call “heavy-handed regulation.”

Senate Bill 33, which was voted down in by the Senate Finance Committee, posed “an existential crisis” for the short-term rental industry in Colorado, said Tim Rosolio, who heads up vacation rental partnerships for Vrbo parent the Expedia Group.

“In Colorado, we kind of got to the brink there,” he said.

e crackdown on short-term rentals in cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco is spilling into resort markets and it’s important that owners and managers organize to help build rules that protect the industry while alleviating concerns from neighbors and contributing revenue to housing challenges.

“ e answer is not ‘no regulation,’ Rosolio said. “It’s important for us to land on something that is balanced … while making sure that we understand what a big economic driver short-term rentals and tourism are for the community.”

Tourism slowdown in 2024

Colorado overnight visitors spent $6.3 billion on lodging in 2023, generating $1.8 billion in local and state tax revenue and supporting 9,450 jobs. Visitors spent $28.2 billion in total in 2023 and vacationers who rented privately owned homes spent $4.1 billion.

In nine Western Slope mountain counties anchored by ski areas, visitors in short-term rental homes and condos — not hotels and motels — spent $1.2 billion in 2023, up from

$1.1 billion in 2022 and 2021. at compares to $2.3 billion spent on traditional hotels and motels in 2023 and 2022.

Since 2019, the number of vacationers renting private homes has increased by 27%.

e taxes generated by tourism in Colorado equate to about $308 per resident. But in places like Summit County, the $96.3 million in state and local taxes paid by tourists in

2023 equals more than $3,150 per resident.

e Colorado Tourism O ce collects annual spending gures and shares that data far and wide. at is part of the o ce’s mission to empower local communities so they can share their own plans for balancing the quality of life for local residents with tourist-based economies.

REGULATION

“What is the value of tourism? Where are you on the tourism cycle in your communities” said Colorado Tourism O ce boss Tim Wolfe, who says the revival of international tourism is a key component for sustainable visitation in high-pro le destinations like metro Denver and Summit County. He’s seeing more communities backing away from intense regulation of short-term rental properties as visitation and lodging tax collections ebb in the rst half of 2024.

Proposition 123, passed by voters in 2022, last year directed $80 million toward a ordable housing across the state. at river of revenue is owing again this year as more housing plans

unfold, Wolfe said.

“Are we giving this a chance to take root or are we going to pass three more things before this actually has a chance to take root and start generating housing,” Wolfe told the vacation rental advocates, urging a wariness of statewide regulation that could slow the ow of tourists into Colorado. “We have to be careful. If we make dramatic changes this (slowdown in visitation) could continue to accelerate.”

Hundreds of property owners and managers have united as part of the Colorado Lodging Resort Alliance, which rallied dozens of advocates to urge opposition to Senate Bill 33 earlier this year.

e group is again rallying its troops to thwart legislation that could impact vacation rentals. e Colorado Association of Ski Towns advocating for legislation that would enable local

“ is could give counties the opportunity to increase revenue for advertising and marketing local tourism, housing, childcare services, and facilitating and enhancing visitor experiences bene ting their county residents,” reads a legislative position statement from Colorado Counties Inc.

Farmers, including Bay in Otero County, are on their third out of four cuts of alfalfa for the season, and still keeping an eye on the grasshoppers. Alfalfa is most vulnerable to grasshoppers when it’s just beginning to grow and “they can mow it right down,” Bay said. When the plants are taller, grasshoppers can’t destroy it but can decrease its yield, he said.

At Bay’s son-in-law’s ranch, in the southeastern corner of the state, the grasshoppers hatched early and died o when they were small because there wasn’t enough moisture for them to survive. But Bay has had to deal with two grasshopper hatches, and the second one produced especially big grasshoppers.

He and others were forced to spray, he said, and Bay hired a pilot because the alfalfa was too thick to drive a sprayer through it. “Once you spray them, it pretty well kills them,” he said. “You have to watch it real close — you can spray one batch and another batch could hatch.”

Farmers also can scatter an insecticide called EcoBran, which grasshoppers will eat and die. en other grasshoppers, which are cannibals, will eat the dead grasshoppers and die, too. But

this is “hit or miss,” Bay said, because if the grasshoppers have other things to eat — say, alfalfa or lettuce — they likely won’t eat the wheat bran laced with the chemical carbaryl, which is toxic to insects.

Ranchers have little recourse, since their grazing land is so vast. eir cattle just get less to eat when grasshoppers are rampant.

It’s just all part of the season for farmers and ranchers, Bay said. “I gamble every day,” he said. “You gamble with the weather. You gamble with the bugs. So I don’t much like to go to Cripple Creek.”

On the bright side for hunters: e doves are thick this year thanks to grasshopper abundance, and dove hunting season starts this month. Bay is optimistic lately, as he nishes the latest cut of alfalfa and moves on to cutting the sorghum, that the grasshoppers will run out of things to eat and fade out. e Arkansas River, which supplies his irrigation water, is getting low now at the end of summer. And it hasn’t rained much lately on the plains. Bay will also keep hoping for black birds or more doves, the “most awesome” natural control for insects.

“But you can’t order a ock of birds to come in,” he said. “It’s a luck thing.” is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

LITTLETON — Kendall Holloway’s senior season on the softball diamond ended before it even got started.

Holloway was an integral part of Chat eld’s run to the Class 5A state championship a season ago. As a junior, she was second on the team in batting average (.479) and hits (45). Along with a solid season in the pitching circle with a 9-3 record and 3.64 ERA while splitting time on the mound with Karlie Cooledge, who is now playing for Colorado State University.

Everything seems aligned for Holloway to lead the way in the Chargers’ quest for a state championship repeat. However, she tore her right ACL jumping for a ball in left eld in May playing in a club softball game.

“I just feel so bad for her,” said Chat eld coach Darin Shepard, who was actually on his way to watch Holloway play the day she su ered the devastating injury. “She had so many things in front of her, a lot bigger than softball. is put a damper on her plans moving forward, but she is a tough kid. She will recover from this.”

Surgery back in June o cially ended her fall 2024 season the eld for Chat eld.

“Honestly, initially I was crushed,” Holloway said about missing her entire senior season. “It messed up recruiting for college and my summer going into my senior year with softball. It was sad and heartbreaking.”

Holloway said she should be fully rehabbed by March 2025. Unfortunately, she has experience going through ACL surgery. She tore her left ACL in a

“It was certainly a really big loss for us,” Chat eld senior Kendall Davros said of Holloway being out for the season. “ e only thing we could really do was rally around her. Our senior class is really tight-knit. ere is a lot of us. We wanted to make sure she (Holloway) is still valued just as much when she wasn’t injured. Her contributions to this team goes well beyond between the lines.”

Holloway has been impressive o the eld. She holds a 4.38 weighted GPA, along with being Chat eld Senior High School’s Student Body President this school year.

Despite the tough injury breaks for the last year’s allstate and Je co all conference rst-time selection, Holloway is still upbeat and positive about her new role mentoring the young pitchers who are lling her shoes and being with her fellow nine seniors attempting to win back-to-back state titles.

“It’s tough losing half of my high school years,” Holloway said about missing most of her sophomore and now senior seasons due to injury. “But I’ve been involved with the program. So it doesn’t feel like I’ve lost two years of softball. It has been great hanging around the girls and has been good for my emotional state as well.”

Holloway is not sure what her college path will be. She is looking into the military academies. Army West Point is the only military academy that has a Division I softball program.

Colorado might ease SAT graduation requirement after big drops in high school math scores

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado may lower the passing score on high school math tests many students use to meet graduation requirements, the latest potential fallout from test scores that fell dramatically this year.

Without such a change, it’s possible graduation rates could drop for the Class of 2025, Colorado Department of Education o cials told the State Board of Education.

To graduate from high school in Colorado, students must show pro ciency in English and math. Using SAT scores is the most common way that districts o er students to meet that requirement, since the test is already administered to students in their junior year; ninth and 10th graders take the PSAT. But o cials couldn’t say how many students were relying on the test result to meet the graduation requirements this year.

e proposed change the State Board is considering would lower the minimum passing score on the math portion of the SAT from 500 to 480. Without that change, o cials say the percentage of students who can use their SAT score to meet graduation requirements will drop from 45% in 2023 to 39% with these results. at means about 3,400 students might be looking for a last-minute alternative to meet graduation requirements before May. If the board agrees to lower the passing score to 480, it would mean 45.5% of students who took the test could use the score to meet their graduation requirements, roughly the same as last year.

State Board members started ursday’s discussion hesitant about the idea of lowering the bar for graduation, but ultimately their comments leaned in favor of the change. Education department sta are continuing to gather more data about the impact, and will ask the State Board to vote on the proposal next month.

Joyce Zurkowski, the Colorado Department of Education’s chief assessment o cer, has been sharing concerns about the SAT scores with the

State Board for months as preliminary results were previewed by state school o cials. Final school and district level results were recently released.

Compared to 2023, the percentage of students who met or exceeded expectations on math tests dropped for students in grades 9-11. (Colorado doesn’t test 12th grade students.) Scores fell across all student subgroups.

Among 11th graders, the percentage meeting expectations dropped to 31.1% this year from 35.2% in 2023, and it’s down from 39% in 2019. In the reading and writing portion of the tests, some student subgroups’ scores improved; o cials are not considering changing the required passing score — 470 — for that portion of the test.

Zurkowski has said that while it is possible some of the drops in math scores re ect drops in learning and student abilities, it’s likely that some of the decline is due to changes to the SAT, which went fully digital for the rst time last year. It’s not possible to distinguish how much of the change in scores is due to each factor, she said.

Students who were in 11th grade last spring and took the SAT for the rst time digitally might have been expecting that their performance on the PSAT the previous year would be predictive of their scores on the SAT in 11th.

“ ey were, I’m going to suggest, surprised when that prediction did not work out the way they were expecting it to work,” Zurkowski said. “I would encourage you to keep that in mind”

Lisa Escarcega, a State Board member, said the 3,400 students who could be forced to nd an alternative way to meet graduation requirements if the board doesn’t lower the cut score is a “signi cant” number.

“It’s much larger than I thought,” Escarcega said.

Instead of reaching certain SAT scores, students can meet graduation requirements to show mastery in math or English by earning passing scores on certain concurrent enrollment classes, doing capstone projects, or earning speci c industry certi cates. ere are also a number of other tests students can take.

Not all districts o er all options

however, and state o cials worry that some students’ options now could be limited.

e state may also consider taking more time to work with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and institutions of higher education to come up with a new cut score that represents the same level of pro ciency as previous cut scores. But o cials said that may take years.

Only around a dozen other states use the SAT for all students as an annual test the way Colorado does. But ed-

ucation department sta will share data next month on how Colorado’s score drops compare to those other states. Colorado o cials also spent the summer evaluating whether the lower high school SAT scores would be valid for use in this year’s school and district ratings. e state ultimately determined they will be used. e preliminary ratings will be available soon. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

High school graduates celebrate by tossing their caps in the air during their graduation ceremony.

SOFTBALL

“I am just keeping my options open with softball,” Holloway said. “Kind of seeking out the bigger world and picture of life.”

Holloway has the versatility to be a position player or pitcher at the college level. It’s just the matter of a softball program giving Holloway a shot.

“I’m willing to pitch again, but I think I can make it to that (college) level with my elding skills and hitting,” Holloway said. “I’ve always had a love for pitching. I love hitting too. I’ll play wherever they want me.”

While Holloway won’t be able to take the eld this season for the Chargers, her importance to the softball program can’t always be measured in batting average or ERA.

“I’ve been trying to let her (Holloway) take things at her own pace,” Shepard said. “It was very hard for her even to want to be around softball at rst. I want to keep her involved mentally and for her to be the mentor for our ve young pitchers. She has been there and done that.”
